Playing Politics With Tragedy
TownHall.com ^ | Saturday, February 9, 2008 | By Mike Gallagher

I’ve never gone from sadness to rage in such a short period of time than this week when I watched a pandering, vile Democrat blame global warming for the rash of tornadoes that struck the South.

When over 50 people are killed by a horrible storm that spawned countless twisters, who could expect that anyone would be brazen and ugly enough to politicize this natural disaster?

John Kerry reporting for duty.

I love Tennessee. The state is beautiful and the people are warm and gracious. When I first heard about the killer storm, my heart went out to those good and decent folks.

But then I made the mistake of turning on the television and watching Sen. John Kerry give his best scientific explanation of the cause of these multiple tornadoes. I realize that when he ran for president he couldn’t stop telling us what a fabled war hero he was, but I must have missed the part about his meteorology degree.

Before any of the bodies in the south were even buried, here’s what this Senate scoundrel had to say about this weeks devastation: “[I] don’t want to sort of leap into the larger meaning of, you know, inappropriately, but on the other hand, the weather service has told us we are going to have more and more intense storms,” Kerry said. “And insurance companies are beginning to look at this issue and understand this is related to the intensity of storms that is related to the warming of the earth. And so it goes to global warming and larger issues that we’re not paying attention to. The fact is the hurricanes are more intensive, the storms are more intensive and the rainfall is more intense at certain places at certain times and the weather patterns have changed.”

And the GOP base just nominated Kerry’s first choice for VP, John McCain.

Who is running on, and has legislation implying that he and the gov can control the weather, and the earths temperature.

So, Kerry seems to be right on track here, pretty mainstream I would say.

Well, we are here patiently waiting for our Global Warming in North Dakota.

We know that it was promised by politicians years ago, and expect it will possibly be delivered sometime around Spring.

If humanity survives this patent stupidity, I expect it will go down in history with the flagellant penitents who flogged each other across Europe to get rid of the Bubonic Plague.

Blamed Global Warming?

I thought those storms were Bush's fault?

This fool is up for reelection this year. Do we have anyone to run against him? Anyone credible, that is?

If McCaine doesn't tap him in his administration (supposing he wins) then I think Romney should run against the "War Hero"!!! sKerry that is...

It’ll be forgotten just as fast as the next political hot potato arrives on the scene.

Yes, finally someone has stepped up to the plate. His nameis John Ogonowski. He just ran and lost to Nikki Tsongas but ran a great campaign. He was up against some pretty tough odds, she being the widow of the “beloved” Paul Tsongas.
His brother was the pilot of the American Airlines plane that hit the WTC.
You never know,he may be able to pull it out. Here’s hoping the people of MA. have had it with gigolo Kerry.

I find it funny that Gallagher is outraged by this.

His candidate, McCain, almost ran as Kerry’s VP.

Gallagher is the moron here.

Thanks. I consider it fairly simple, really. Others made the statements I quote, and over the years others posted them. I just put them in one place. Any credit really goes to them.
